Abstract

In Nigeria despite parents zeal and enthusiasm to send their children and wards to school, bullying among secondary schools tend to constitute one of the major persistent unresolved problems of these parents. Bullying in schools, especially in the most preferred secondary schools e.g. Federal Government Colleges and reputable Mission schools, need to be researched into Bullying has effect both on the bully and the bullied. This research therefore investigated the prevalence of bullying among the “most preferred” secondary schools in South – East of Nigeria, focusing on boys only mission schools; girls only Federal schools and mixed (Boys and Girls) Federal school. The purposive sampling method was used to select six secondary schools in the South – East of Nigeria. A sample of three hundred and seven (307) students were randomly selected from the six schools. The research instrument used was the structured questionnaire with reliability co-efficient of 0.72. It was designed to elicit information on the questions formulated to guide the study. The data collected was analyzed using Mean difference, t-test and ANOVA. The results showed a high prevalence of bullying in Federal schools, than Mission schools. It also revealed that girls bully more than boys. Finally the study revealed that the highest prevalence of bullying is in mixed Federal secondary schools, than in the Mission schools where students were exposed to more sports activities than in Federal schools. Based on the findings, recommendations were made to school authorities in mixed federal schools not to treat bullying with levity. Intensification of use of sports activities and behavioral Counseling and Talks were recommended, in mixed federal schools, to counsel both the bully and the bullied.
